Friday Favorites: #00002 Murad Environmental Shield Kit

3:38 PM

When I was young, I loved playing out in the sun and going swimming in the summer. I never bothered to put any sun screen or anything on my face. I rarely got sunburnt. Now that I'm older, I know better than to go out in the sun without anything to protect my face, and I have freckles on my cheeks to remind me.

In hopes of lightening my freckles, I bought a Murad Environmental Shield Kit for $45. It included an Essential-C Cleanser, Advanced Active Radiance Serum (for day use), Essential-C Day Moisturizer, and Rapid Age Spot and Pigment Lightening Serum (for night use). This kit was said to fade sun and age spots in just 4 weeks.

Before

When using the cleanser, my face didn't feel as squeaky clean as other cleansers. It feels very light. The serums, both day and night, feel sticky on the face, but I guess that's just how serums are. The moisturizer feels and looks a little greasy on the face.

After One Week

After Two Weeks

Four Weeks

After using it for almost 4 weeks now, I don't feel any different. My freckles are still visible. They were never really dark to begin with, so I'm not sure if they faded at all. I have also had these freckles since I was in elementary school. I wonder if I would have more success with new sun spots rather than ones I've had for years. Many people found this product useful, however, it didn't make much of a difference on me so I would not purchase it again.
